Mr Raymond Sealey becomes I Musici de Montral's Executive Director


For Immediate Release

Montreal, February 19th, 2008 - Mr Grard Coulombe, Chairman of the Board of I Musici de Montral, is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr Raymond Sealey as Executive Director.

Born in England, Raymond Sealey earned a degree in English Literature from the University of Western Ontario. Music, however, finally took the more important place in his life when he was studying guitar at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto. This culminated in studies with Alexandre Lagoya in both Canada and France, the latter with support from the Canada Council for the Arts.

He taught music at the University of Western Ontario and subsequently at the University of Ottawa. Mr Sealey has made several recordings, is a published composer and has taken great interest in the guitar as a chamber music instrument.

He also worked as a host and documentary maker for CBC in Ottawa. It was during this period that he became increasingly active in production and arts management. He produced concerts in Gatineau and the Outaouais and co-founded a music festival in that region.

In 1997 he moved to Montreal and later to the Laurentians to become Executive Director of CAMMAC (Canadian Amateur Musicians/Musiciens amateurs du Canada), a non-profit national service organization offering opportunities for music making in a non-competitive environment. He retired from this organization in 2007 following the completion of a major rebuilding project at CAMMAC Music Centre in the Laurentians.

Mr Sealey was acting as a consultant for arts organizations, including I Musici de Montral but after several weeks, the fit with I Musici seemed natural and he decided to offer his candidacy for the post of Executive Director.

Mr Sealey said, "I am very happy to join such a prestigious musical organization. Maestro Yuli Turovsky, the ensemble and all the administrative staff form an exceptional team and it is a pleasure to be part of it."
